More Black midwives could help bridge maternal health disparities and reduce mortality

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
"Racially concordant care is associated with better health outcomes, but more than 90% of midwives are white. Expanding and diversifying the midwife workforce could help bridge maternal health disparities and reduce maternal mortality rates."

I would venture to say more Midwives Period, I imagine a woman giving birth may be more comfortable with any woman rather than a man in the room, but yes understand that those of color may prefer a Midwife who is of color also.
